Chateau de Versailles, Versailles

Her work made up of redirections, metamorphoses and displacements of objects, cuts across time and shifts the symbols

sintesi del comunicato stampa

The Portuguese artist will be the first woman and the youngest artist to present her work in the Palace of Versailles. Her approach consists of the reappropriation of everyday objects which she transforms using inventive and unexpected techniques. Joana does not seek to fit into Versailles, but to confront it. Her work made up of redirections, metamorphoses and displacements of objects, cuts across time and shifts the symbols. Inspired by the mythological and aesthetic force of the palace of Versailles, Joana Vasconcelos questios notions of luxury and beauty by proposing new works especially designed for the palace. Following artist such as Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, Xavier Veilhan and Bernar Venet, Vasconcelos will create through her work a dialogue between past and present that forms part of history itself.
